East Coweta's Lynch MaxPreps Player of Week

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kelley Lynch of East Coweta High School garnered the first MaxPreps/NFCA National High School Player of the Week honor for the 2017-18 season.

Lynch keyed the Indians to a pair of wins over Lassiter and Hillgrove to open the season. In her first start of 2017, Lynch dominated Hillgrove batters as she tossed a one-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory. The junior righty fanned 14 and walked just one in a complete game effort. At the plate, she was 3-for-4 in the two contests which included a three-run home run in the opener against Lassister. She also scored three runs and walked twice against the Trojans. Lynch went 2-for-2 versus Hillgrove.
